Cruising the world, story of a lifestyle

DO YOU DREAM OF FIJI PARADISE? Because I did for so long! I just had to become a millionaire in order to get there. Well, if I have to dream at least to dream BIG! This job I have is most probably the dream of many girls, traveling and making money, obviously, there are some sacrifices that need to be made, but about this, I'll tell you another time. Here I am the morning of arrival in Suva, Fiji when a big decision had to be made. What to do today? The best of the job that I get to choose the excursions that I have to go. Yes, part of the job is to go as much as possible in tours in order to know the products and socialize with the guests. Since I saw the movie Anaconda and the Lost Orchid which I knew was filmed somewhere here I choose the tour that goes to the waterfall and visits a local tribe community.  The tour took us with longboats up the river, passing the green jungle, seeing colorful birds and on to the waterfall, and there it was. Simply beautiful! Everybody too...

FRENCH POLYNESIA, PARADISE - PART THREE - NUKU HIVA Visiting this beautiful volcanic island first thought is to find those so much disputed cannibals. Took a jeep ride, but nothing like the one I had in Moorea. The only way of touring the island is with local jeeps, the island is small and has limited resources for tourism, which is great by the way, so the only transportation on the island is using the jeeps owned by the locals. So we drove up the top of the island, spectacular views as only French Polynesia can offer to the hungry traveler's eyes such as mine. Happy to be in this so remote place but where are the cannibals? I have read so many stories about them, the last incident of cannibalism was registered in 2011, which was only 4 years back from the date I have been there. Apparently, this 40 years old German tourist was traveling with the girlfriend and disappeared. Parts of his body were found in the jungle and he was identified based on his dental fie. The cannib...

FRENCH POLYNESIA, PARADISE - PART TWO - MOOREA AND SHARK TALES The first time that I have stepped on this part of this world was at the beginning of 2015. The only information I knew is that it is beautiful as per the description of an ex-boyfriend that used to work on a cruise ship. He used to tell me these stories about French Polynesian islands just to brag about the fact that he has been there. But he failed in his descriptions as these islands are not just beautiful, are breathtaking. Once you get here and visit you just do not want to go back home. The first step on Moorea and I'm amazed by the views, this turquoise water, crystal clear that I can count every particle of sand. The first excursion that I choose is an exploration of the island on a 4WD, off-road adventure. And it was, as the volcanic island has some vehicle paths, very steep, rocky and muddy. Before reaching the peak of the island we did several stops for pictures but the last part of the driving was so sca...
